114: Chapter 114 What will he do with the remaining cultivation?

"Should I strike first?" Suddenly, Chen Hu had a thought.

He possessed the Earth Escape Divine Ability and could tunnel beneath one of the Late Stage Marrow Refining experts; with a surprise attack, it was still possible to kill one of them.

But after thinking about it, he gave up on the idea.

Because the martial arts cultivation card would refresh at midnight tonight.

As long as he absorbed the tens of days of cultivation it provided, his strength would increase significantly.

He would be more confident when taking action then.

Suddenly, Chen Hu noticed that the two Bone Refining guards had left the courtyard.

Consequently, Chen Hu quietly followed them.

After following them for a while, he surmised that the two were likely going to gather intelligence.

Just as he expected.

Before long, these two Bone Refining guards appeared near his new home.

They then selected a three-story pavilion and used a monocular telescope to observe the situation inside his courtyard.

Since Princess Yang Xianer had already sent people to scout the situation, it was very likely that the other party would make a move tonight.

If that Organ Refining Realm expert came and they fought at his home, it was very likely to affect the women in his household.

Therefore, he had to relocate them.

Since he needed to relocate the women in his household, he naturally had to deal with the two Bone Refining Realm individuals watching from nearby.

Killing them directly would prevent them from returning to report, but that would alert the enemy.

Therefore, it was time for the loyalty card to make an appearance.

Thus, he tunneled beneath the pavilion, locked onto one person with his Spiritual Sense, took out a loyalty card, and silently activated it.

A beam of light, invisible to others, shot out from the loyalty card, penetrated through layers of ground, and submerged into the body of one of the Bone Refining Realm individuals.

Instantly, the other party's thoughts were twisted, and they became a loyal follower of Chen Hu.

He silently activated it again, and a second beam of light submerged into the body of the second Bone Refining guard.

"Swish!"

A figure flashed by, and Chen Hu appeared on the third floor of the pavilion.

Upon seeing Chen Hu arrive, the two Bone Refining guards knelt on one knee in unison: "Greetings, Master!"

"Call me Brother Hu. From now on, you are my underlings!" Chen Hu said calmly.

"Yes, Brother Hu!"

The two changed their address in unison, and Chen Hu's number of underlings increased by two.

After exchanging a few words with his two newly acquired underlings, Chen Hu tunneled back home, as he discovered someone else had come to visit.

It was Chief Constable Xu Shiyou who had arrived.

Chen Hu invited him in, ordered someone to bring a cup of tea, and then dismissed the maid.

"Speak, what have you come here for?"

Chief Constable Xu Shiyou replied respectfully and in a hurry: "Reporting to Master, I was ordered by the Prefect to come and befriend you. These are three gifts that I specifically selected from the Prefect's treasury!"

While speaking, Chief Constable Xu Shiyou took out three boxes.

Chen Hu took the three boxes, opened them to take a look, and found a fiery red jade pendant, a pitch-black herb, and a string of jade prayer beads.

"Introduce these three items," Chen Hu said.

Chief Constable Xu Shiyou immediately introduced the three gifts.

The fiery red jade pendant was crafted from warm jade. Warm jade was a top-tier variety among jade stones and possessed heat-retaining properties; even in the dead of winter, if one only wore a thin shirt, as long as they wore the warm jade on their body, they would not feel the slightest bit of cold.

As for the black herb, it was a Spirit Medicine called Iron Thread Grass. After a Tendon Refining Martial Artist consumed it, it had miraculous effects on refining the tendons, with a market price of around five thousand taels.

As for the final item, the jade prayer beads, the material was just ordinary fine jade, but each jade bead had a special rune on it. After wearing it, one could clear their mind and focus their spirit, and wearing it while Cultivating could prevent Qi Deviation.

It was also a rare and special artifact.

"It seems your Prefect is quite generous!" Chen Hu said with a smile.

Chief Constable Xu Shiyou quickly said: "Reporting to Master, the Prefect is not that generous. This jade string is definitely one of the top treasures in the Prefect's treasury. He ordered me to go to the treasury and select three treasures to win you over, but I took it upon myself to take this one. I estimate that after I return, I will most likely be reprimanded!"

"Although you are borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, I won't let you get scolded for nothing. This pound of exotic beast meat is your reward!" Chen Hu took a pound of Tier 2 exotic beast meat from his Storage Ring and tossed it to Chief Constable Xu Shiyou.

Instantly, Chief Constable Xu Shiyou was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.

Chen Hu added: "Go back and tell your Prefect: as long as the imperial court does not specifically suppress me, I will not oppose the imperial court!"

After sending Chief Constable Xu Shiyou away.

Chen Hu gathered everyone in the courtyard.

He told them that a powerful enemy might attack tonight, and once a fight broke out, he might not be able to look after them, so he planned to send them to the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall to hide.

In order not to leak any information and be discovered by the enemy's scouts, he had to disguise them.

Upon hearing this, Widow Wang couldn't help but say worriedly: "Brother Hu, are you not coming with us to hide?"

"No need, I still have means to deal with them!" Chen Hu shook his head.

Immediately, he took out makeup tools and personally disguised the women. Afterward, he quietly went out and brought back a batch of men's clothing. After letting them change, he had them climb over the wall to leave, and then head to the back door of the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall to rendezvous.

The process went very smoothly.

Chen Hu led them into the Fierce Tiger Gang's General Hall, arranged for them all to stay in one courtyard, and summoned Ye Fan, instructing him to stay and protect them.

After arranging all of this.

Chen Hu quietly returned home.

By this time, it was almost evening.

Chen Hu couldn't be bothered to cook. Fortunately, the Gourmet Card had also produced quite a few banquets, though he had always kept them stored in his Storage Ring.

He took out a few dishes.

He also took out a bottle of spirit wine, and Chen Hu began to eat and drink happily.

During this time, he also used his Spiritual Sense to observe the two Bone Refining guards outside.

One of them had already returned to report, indicating that Chen Hu was at his own home and hadn't gone anywhere.

However, Princess Yang Xianer hadn't told them when to make a move.

After finishing his meal and drink.

Chen Hu continued to contemplate the Mysterious Yang Art he had copied from the Green-Robed Elder.

Not long after, he easily comprehended the first level.

Since he had nothing to do, he continued to contemplate.

Time passed unconsciously, and it had reached the hour of the Rat.

He had already comprehended three levels of the Mysterious Yang Art, but Princess Yang Xianer still hadn't sent anyone to assassinate him.

Thus, while Chen Hu was waiting, the time finally reached midnight.

Chen Hu decisively took out the martial arts cultivation card.

"Activate!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 100 days of cultivation!"

"Not bad!"

Chen Hu was very satisfied and chose to use it directly.

The 100 days of cultivation were injected into his body, beginning to help him open the bone apertures of his skull.

In less than a quarter of an hour, all the bone apertures on his skull were successfully opened. At the same time, his internal Qi was also injected into the bone apertures, beginning to refine his bone marrow.

The remaining cultivation was divided into multiple streams, replenishing the consumption of internal Qi in other bone apertures.

When the replenishment was complete.

This 100 days of cultivation had still not been exhausted.

Regarding this, Chen Hu was somewhat curious. The bone apertures had all been opened, and the consumed internal Qi had been fully replenished, so what would this remaining cultivation help him do next?
